UltraTech 60" X 250' Gray Polypropylene Absorbent

Item Details

UltraTech 11 oz Filter-Tex® measuring 60"" X 250' is produced from recycled synthetic fibers. It is designed for use as a durable long lasting geo-textile and filter media. It allows large volumes of water to pass through while sorbing liquid hydrocarbons, including petroleum, animal and vegetable oils. It is cost effective and absorbs an average of 20 times its own weight of liquid hydrocarbons. It is ideal for use in oil/water separators, storm water and wastewater filtration systems and water polishing applications.

Features

• Because of Ultra-Filter-Tex's selective affinity for lipophilic (oil attracting"") it is very efficient in removing hydrocarbons from water
• Ultra-Filter-Tex® excels as a spill removal media capable of sorbing liquid hydrocarbons, including petroleum, animal and vegetable oils onto its vast fiber mass surfaces and into process-created interstitial spaces
• When used as a filter medium, water passes freely, while adsorption of target hydrocarbons begins on contact. Ultra-Filter-Tex® is extremely efficient due to the enormous lipophilic surface area of the altered fibers
• Ultra-Filter-Tex® works well as a fibrous supporting matrix for other water conditioning materials such as selective zeolites, activated carbon, zero-valent iron filings, etc. Ultra-Filter-Tex® can be ""conditioned' to remove specific chemical compounds
• Ultra-Filter-Tex® is cost effective in comparison to many conventional filtering media, adsorbing/absorbing an average of 20 times its own weight of liquid hydrocarbons
• Approximately 85-90 % of sorbed oils can be reclaimed from Ultra-Filter-Tex® and the media reused
• In bench-scale testing, Ultra-Filter-Tex® has shown promising results in filtering out emulsified oils and hydrocarbons out of a water stream. This characteristic creates opportunities for the use of Ultra-Filter-Tex® in oil/water separation applications and other hydrocarbon filter projects
• Ultra-Filter-Tex® forms into cohesive mats or wads"" which can easily conform to various applications or filter devices
• Ultra-Filter-Tex® is environmentally benign and user-friendly. It does not leach harmful substances into the environment and when incinerated produces minimal residue or ash.
